Why make this?
Most UX sounds are synthesized and sound like they were made for machines, or often poorly imitate humans. Think "You've got mail." But humans respond to natural sounds meant for humans. So we've created an audio library just for that!
But, really?
Okay, fine. It was a little tongue-in-cheek and I thought it was a fun project. But the sounds actually turned out really well and they can be used in applications.
What are you going to do with my money?
All sales will be donated to the
Equal Justice Initiative and I'll also match the donations up to $1,000 in total sales.
Where did you get the illustrations on this page?
Will you make more?
I'd love to! It was a lot of fun. Only if there is interest though.
